Ancient GREECE was the home of Zeus and his fellow gods and you will certainly be reminded of that when you visit Athens' Parthenon and Delphi's Temple of Apollo. Greece was also the birthplace of the Games. Other famous Greek births include science, math, philosophy and democracy. But modern Greece is less a center of learning and more of a destination of simple, happy pleasures.
If you looking for a Vacation where you can relax and unwind or socialize and make new friends, this is the country for you. Here you will find delicious food and wine, beautiful beaches, charming villages, an endless coastline and little islands full of surprises. The myriad of islands in the Aegean Sea offers you a unique chance for island-hopping and partying. The Greek people are very welcoming, and famous for their warm hospitality. The landscape of Greece is varied, ranging from cool mountainous regions and coastal hills to plains and sun-drenched, rocky islands.

The island of SANTORINI is perhaps the most breathtaking of all the Greek Islands. The town of Fira's white-washed houses, narrow streets, open-air cafes and glittering boutiques cling to steep cliffs, accessible by cable-car or mule. To the south is Akrotiri where recent Minoan excavations support the theories that Santorini might be the fabled lost continent of Atlantis.
Relax at one of the many restaurants over looking the Mediterranean Sea and soak in a sun set, walk through the romantic windy pathways and visit the many shops along the way, or rent a scooter and find your own private beach to enjoy. Santorini also has a winery you can visit and sample the fine brands of wine they produce.
On MYKONOS you will find beautiful beaches, chic boutiques, and elegant nightclubs. Beneath its sophisticated surface, lies a quite essential Greek island. Hundreds of tiny chapels dot this blue and white-washed island with its beautiful windmills. Find a table on the waterfront and bask in the serenity of sunset over its picturesque harbor or sit at one of the many cafe's lined along the coast and people watch.
| CRETE, the largest of Greece, is a place with tall mountains, fertile valleys and clean beaches. It offers many surprises in its changing nature... forests of palm trees meet tall mountains, then majestic plateaus and then the sea. This land of history, culture and feasts offers you its smile and welcomes you in the mysterious yet familiar world of the Cretans. |  |
